Who doesn’t love a family movie night?! My younger brother worked at our local movie theater in high school and college so hubby and I used to go to the movies all the time for free. But, now that we have kids, we have movie nights at home in our pajamas.

What’s not to love about spending quality time together with family in your pajamas?! Today I’m sharing our favorite tips for planning the perfect family movie night.

Plan Ahead – Our calendar seems to fill up pretty quickly even when I try not to plan too many things. I’ve started adding family movie nights to our calendar to keep those nights free from other commitments.

Take Turns – We take turns choosing the movie that we watch on family movie nights. Sometimes we vote since there are 3 of us watching the movie but most of the time we all agree on the movie.

Grab Snacks – You can’t watch a movie without snacks! Our family has been obsessed with GOOD THiNS – The Potato One – Sweet Potato since they first came first came out and I make sure to pick up a few boxes at Kroger for our fun movie nights. GOOD THiNS start with real ingredients (like wheat, potato and rice), combined with enticing flavors (like garlic, spinach and sweet potato) and baked thin and crispy without any artificial flavors, colors, cholesterol, partially hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup.

Real life snacks, baked with real ingredients- this is my kind of snack!

My favorite are the GOOD THiNS – The Beet One – Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt. These are flavored with balsamic vinegar and sea salt and all I can say is YUM! The perfect baked snack with a delicious tangy twist. Hubby likes the GOOD THiNS – The Wheat One – Ancient Grains made with 100% whole grain wheat. Perfect for dipping! And, Connor loves the GOOD THiNS – The Potato One – Sweet Potato. They’re made with real sweet potatoes and 60% less fat than the leading regular fried potato chip.

Make Snacking Easy – I bought these plastic caddies just for our movie nights. They’re the perfect little containers to hold our drinks and snack while watching our movie. This also prevents spills.

Pajama Party Time – We make it comfy and cozy by making our movie nights double as a pajama party. I don’t know about you but I can’t get comfortable unless I’m in my pajamas and I need to snuggle up on the sofa with a blanket to really enjoy a good movie night.

No Cell Phones Allowed– We leave our cell phones in the kitchen and no other electronics are allowed in the family room while we are watching our movie. This means no distractions and no interruptions. Just quality family time together.

Enjoy the Show – Sit back, relax, and enjoy the move. This is the perfect time to forget about your to-do list, put your feet up, and spend time with your favorite people.

Make your movie night a success with GOOD THiNS! Stock up on a variety of GOOD ThiNS while shopping at Kroger this week and start planning your next family movie night.
